Delaware County Veterans Memorial

Description :

The Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association first was proposed in 2013 as a way to recognize and pay tribute to fallen armed forces members from Delaware County. Through the concentrated efforts of the late Steve Neri, United States Marine Corps Veteran; the late Stan Short, United States Marine Corps Veteran; and the late Linda Houldin, former director of the Delaware County Historical Society in Newtown Square, plans were put forward. Thanks to the generous support of the land donor and major benefactor, Claude de Botton and family, a plot of land donated to the cause became the home of the region’s newest monument to military service. The dream became a reality on May 11, 2013, when the monument was dedicated in a solemn ceremony.
